Kossel Mini carriage with quick belt clips (and optional flying extruder loop)

thingiverse

This is an updated Kossel Mini carriage, which incorporates quick belt clips which I borrowed from the Smartrapcore Alu printer design by Smartfriendz. The old way of attaching the belts with cable ties was annoying me. Make sure you cut your belt to the correct length when inserting it in the lower belt clip so that the excess does not rub on the other side of the belt as it moves through the carriage. The extra part is a loop which can be fixed over the top of the carriage to attach a flying extruder to (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1250222) if you aren't intending to use one don't bother printing this part. UPDATE: 22-05-2016 - I noticed after a lot of printing with these parts that eventually one of the belts was slipping on the lower clip. I also noticed that the spacing between the belts was less than ideal. The later version V2 moves the belt clips to the right to align the belts better and has some reinforcement around the lower belt clip. Print Settings Notes: Print it stongly, I used 0.26mm layers with a 0.3mm nozzle on a Kossel Mini, in abs. A brim might be a good idea. Infill 30% or more to ensure it is a strong part.
